Sharing: Watch Kilauea's fissures erupt LIVE

@Ignorant Be sure to check further down this thread for the newest link to the livestream. Subcribe to their channel here!

I should mention that I’m in no way associated with the Honolulu Civil Beat YouTube channel. I just love science and this is a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle…and I think it’s awesome!

Hours after the livestream stopped last night, I saw on TV a live report of the volcano from CNN and the news crew were reporting from what looked like to me to be the same house & porch where the livestream was being filmed from. Maybe CNN muscled the livestream off the air while they did their morning updates Monday morning?

@Kerig3 Thanks!

@therealjrn As of 12am EDT on 5/24/2018 the livestream feed is at this link!

As of 11:00pm EDT on 5/24/2018 the livestream is at this link. It looks to be slowing its lava flow as of this evening, but volcanologists think it’s far from over.

@Kidsandliz The sounds alone would keep me up all night. Plus at any moment the winds could change and you have to move fast. Yep, I too couldn’t live my life that close to such an unpredictable event!

@Kidsandliz it… moves… very… slowly…

(although I’m not sure the air quality is all that great)

@Kidsandliz If you view this video (below) from a few days ago and fast-forward to 2:25:45 they zoom out and pan left, which shows the overall view of this fissure (#17) and its lava bed. They then stop on another fissure and zoom in where you can see the rooftop of a house that’s just at the edge of the lava bed. Now if you watch that house for a few minutes you’ll see a few people come out of the house to view the lava fountain that’s now in their front yard. This gives you a better perspective of how big this one fountain has grown to create a cinder cone that wasn’t there just a few days ago. Finally, at 3:29:55 the camera pans back to the right and ends up back at the main fissure. This panning helps to give you a lay if the land.
Fast-forward this video to 2:25:45 to begin.

The house I mentioned above, is the house owned by the man who was hit in the leg by a lave bomb while he was trying to extinguish lava bombs as they fell in his yard. This man, Darryl Clinton, is shown towards the beginning of this CNN video about the volcano which aired yesterday morning.

@Kerig3 And this is why I’d pack up all my stuff and move it. If I stayed to try to keep secondary fires from burning down my house I’d sure as heck want an empty house just in case the lava flow was going to swallow my house or the fires from flying lava were doing to burn it down. I’d also buy a firefighter’s suit to protect myself - although there is a point where it all becomes “just stuff not worth risking my life for”.

By the way did that man’s house finally burn down/get covered in lava?

@Kidsandliz I think his house is still standing, but that fissure (#17) is still very active and loud. Hopefully the livestream guys will move the camera in it’s direction today so that we can verify it.

@Kidsandliz Here’s a map of the house they’re filming from. It’s named “Rusty’s house” for the rooster that we always hear on the feed. It looks much closer than I was thinking, but it’s actually 1/2 mile from the main fissure group. Too close for me though!

@Kerig3 I wonder if the CNN guys don’t know we can hear their conversations or don’t care. “Watch out for that camera.” Jiggle, jiggle, jiggle

Someone at CNN is softly snoring on camera.

@sammydog01 The other early morning, the CNN reporter could be heard, when not broadcasting live, practicing his lines and testing out modifications to his script. You could also hear him discussing those changes with his producer. The reporter was literally being an actor.

@Kerig3 The home owner was also talking about his upcoming colonoscopy. Do they not understand microphones?

@sammydog01 Actually they do. Last Sunday evening the feed had no sound for most of the evening because the home owners asked for privacy. Also, Monday morning after the CNN reporter did his broadcast, he told the owners to “be quiet” when he’s broadcasting (I couldn’t hear them with headphones at full volume). Kind of a rude thing to say to people opening their home to you when they certainly don’t have to, especially when a natural disaster is theatening their home every minute. Maybe the colonoscopy talk was on purpose?!

@Kerig3 The CNN guys were talking about Darryl, they guy who got hit by a laba bomb- he won’t talk to them because they made him look stupid. The CNN guys said something like we didn’t make him look stupid did we? Anyway what did he expect?

@sammydog01 When was this?
This morning there was an argument between a CNN producer-woman and her cameraman. The cameraman was “mansplaining” camera shots to her while she demanded one specific shot. That did not go very well. And that conversation was in front of the poor guy running the livefeed for Honolulu Civil Beats…along with everyone from around the globe watching the live feed. What are they thinking?

@Kerig3 @sammydog01 Look: When something needs to be mansplained time waits on no one. Best to do it right then and there before her head gets all cluttered up with The View and such.

@Kerig3 @therealjrn That’s pretty funny. I assume the whole thing is somewhere on youtube? It looks like the rock wall will soon be high enough that you can’t see the lava and everyone will leave. And people will stop donating to those guys go fund me.

@Kerig3 @sammydog01

And people will stop donating to those guys go fund me.

bummer.

@therealjrn I think if you want to donate there are probably better places. Those guys still have a house that’s untouched.

@sammydog01 Pragmatic as always. thx

They need to list it on VRBO.

@sammydog01 @therealjrn Or Airnb. They’d probably get thrill seekers to rent. Could probably charge super bowl prices for a front row seat to the slow motion frying of the landscape.
